Margaret,
Thanks for your responce to my post. I have some of Samuels children but only four. I would like the other children if you can send them to me, as I think Samuel was a close family member.
Rachel married Christian Peeler before 1809 and they have 9 children.
Christian' father was Marx Christiam ( Christian wasn't a seldom used name for a man in that time-period) Peeler and Marx Christian's parents were Anthonius "Anthony" Bieller/Buhler/Peeler and Anna Maria Ebele. Anthonius landed in Philadelphia in 1738 aboard the ship Robert and Alice with Walter Goodman was the Master of the ship. They were from the area in Germany called "Palatinate on the Rhine" and the ship left Rotterday with one stop in Dover before its journey to America. After about 10 years in PA they migriated down the great wagon route to North Carolina. We find the younger Christian in North Carolina until his father, Marx Christian died between 1794-1800 when he and Rachel and family moved to TN and one child was born there.
They migrated to Southern IL and Christian was one of the earlists settleters there. Chrisian died in 1849 so there was no census information on him and family but Rachel lived until 19 Nov 1854 and she and several of the children were on the 1850 census for District 2, Union County IL. They lived near Dongola, Union Co., IL.
Christian and Rachel are buried at Johnson Pond Cemetery, near Dongola, Union Co., IL on private land. I received a post from the owner of the cemetery this last year and sent me photos of the markers. The photos don,t show all the inscriptions of the markers but the owner, and two other cemetery detailed checks of the cemetery were made over the years and it was noted in both that Christian and Rachel were both buried there.
I have Christian's ancestory back to his grandfather and would be willing to share what ever I have with you. I do have some information on the Brown Families also
